Today I was making some flights around a small lake at my parent’s home in Florida and taking some video. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now without any major issues. Anyway, on my last flight, I observed on my iPhone that the video seemed to suddenly jerk and the Spark started to spin and drop. Admittedly, the wind was borderline on the ground and may have been more severe up higher. Next, it appeared to drop as if totally out of control and the spinning got worse. Then, it stabilized and came down down in a more controlled fashion until it landed. I really could not see the Spark at the time as it was directly above me and the sky was very bright due to the sun. After it landed, I noticed that one of the prop guards had lost its landing leg, as if it had been snapped off. Knowing the kind of avian creatures of various sizes in this area, I am wondering if it may have been struck by one of them, which started the tumbling, and breaking a leg off. Who knows, maybe the wind did it.
Just a comment for the heck of it.
